In this verse, it
has been caused to draw attention of the human being unto reproduction after
death. It is commanded: O Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him)! If you wonder on their denial of the life after death, then truly; it is a
wondrous thing, because it is not difficult for Him to reproduce, Who
(Omnipotent) produced the mankind first time. New things are produced every
time from the dust, then those are damaged. After that, Allah Almighty
reproduces them again with His Divine Power.

Idolaters of Makkah
used to pretend always in a new way for disbelieving the Messenger-hood of
Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). Their main evasion
was that: You teach us that the mankind will be reproduced after death, but the
sense does not accept it. Such objection of theirs has been mentioned in this
verse that: They say! Can we then forsooth be reproduced as a renewed creation;
when we have been dust?

They are being
replied in these words: After thinking about the wonders of the earth and the
heavens and beholding that in the earth, countless things are produced and
ruined by the Omnipotence of Allah Almighty and then, again those are
reproduced in the same form and shape, in which those were earlier. So it is
very wondrous to have doubt in reproduction of the human beings.
